Time for our question of the week.

Do you think that taking a step back and just sitting on the sidelines and watching from time to time can help your game? Any time I find myself dealing with an injury or just need to give my body a little rest I always decide to just sit on the sidelines and watch what’s going on on the mats. I feel like that’s where some of my biggest breakthroughs have come from…just taking a step back and watching the bigger picture. It’s never fun when I have to sit out due to an injury but I know I can still come in and learn something just by watching. Let me know what you think in the comments. 

Time for our weekly question.

What’s a lesson or skill you have learned or developed on the mats at Jiu Jitsu that you have then been able to transfer to other areas of your life off the mats?

For me, an important one has been being able to prioritize and focus on the things that actually matter and move me closer to my goals and to minimize the things that aren’t as important and to avoid the things that I would consider to be outside noise or distractions.
